Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Didn't Ronaldo usually play in a wing position and then attacked with massive speed and made use of his ability to finish with both feet? Maybe the coach makes the decision to let him play as a center-forward because he isn't as fast as he used to be. However, when I watched some scenes from games he still is one of the fastest on the field. I think these outstanding players who have more speed than most of the others and who can also use both of their feet almost equally, are of more advantage to the team when they play in a wing position. But sure he can also play center-forward.

The fact is that as we know, Ronaldo is now more inclined to play as a center forward even though he can actually play in various positions. we can even refer to the Arab Club Champions Cup match, Luis Castro implemented a 4-2-3-1 pattern as I said before. the new coach prefers to play one centre-forward up front, and three players behind him to help when building attacks. in that match Talisca played as AM, two other European players such as Fofana and Brozovic played as double vipot. the final result of Al Nassr won a landslide victory, naturally because the team they were fighting against was not a strong team. but seeing from what Luis Castro has implemented, it is likely that Ronaldo will always be a center forward.

Now, Mane has been confirmed to be part of Al Nassr. you can be sure, Mane will fill the wing position. thus, this team will be stronger and more competitive, even though it would be even more ideal if Al Nassr brought in one more winger. but do not rule out, if the scenario you say can be applied by the coach. but if that's the scenario, ideally Al Nassr should play a local centre-forward. because, they have several young players who are in ST positions.
now the question is, will coach Al Nassr try to implement the scenario as you say. if so, maybe it will be more interesting and give their local young players a chance.

They played a decent game against Monastir, but to be fair that wasn't really a team they should have trouble with neither, looked like Al-Nassr was a much better team to begin with. Plus there are still some positions that needs to improve, there are for some reason huge gaps between positions and I believe that if they are willing to spend this much money, they could spend just a little bit more and get those positions some good players. Between Telles, Brozovic, Fofana and Ronaldo (and of course Talisca who they already had) they are looking like a real good team but other teams are getting stars too, they really need to put some more emphasis on defense and goalkeeper for sure.

For goalkeepers it looks like Al Nassr will try to seduce De Gea in this transfer window. Because previously De Gea was often associated with Al Nassr after he ended his contract with Manchester United. I think the depth of Al Nassr squad is very strong at the moment because after Sadio Mane arrived their front line is strong enough.

For Al Ittihad FC they were able to win the previous two matches where Karim Benzema became a hero for Al Ittihad in beating his opponents. The presence of Benzema in the Al Ittihad Fc squad has had a pretty good impact on their front lines for next season.

If from my point of view it is possible that the Saudi league will continue to survive for the next two seasons, but this must still be balanced by bringing in other European star players and if they do nothing in these two seasons it is likely that the Saudi league will not last long either.

The Saudi league would continue to survive and perhaps thrive not just for the next two seasons but many more seasons to come. I don’t also think it’s that much of a necessity to bring in European star players in order to survive. True, bringing in well known players from all around would definitely help in making the Saudi league more popular and probably get more people to watch and talk about it. But not having well known players wouldn’t make the league not to survive. It won’t just be as popular and watched as hoped.
Besides, the Saudis probably have enough money to keep signing European players and bringing them in. So you should not bother about the survival of the league. They would survive.

In a much as we want to see the Saudi Arabian League become one of the biggest and toughest leagues in the world, we must also not forget that there might be some future financial challenges considering the huge amount of money they've spent on bringing European based superstars to the Saudi league.
For a fact, the players are gonna bring unprecedented quality to the league but what I think should be a major concern is if the clubs that signed these players can continue to fund the players' wages in the future

Sadio mane will be bringing in more attack to the Al Nassr side just as he did when he was playing for Liverpool. If Sadio mane plays half of what he played at Liverpool for Al Nassr, I don't think they'll be having issues winning games and defending from the front because that's the work of Sadio mane, back at Liverpool he was doing all the dirty works that Mo Salah and others couldn't do and since he'll be playing along side with Ronaldo, he'll be helping with the defending and the attacking. If I was their coach this is how I'll lineup the attacks, Sadio mane plays 7 and Talisca plays 10, Ronaldo plus 9 and maybe someone with good crossing legs plays 11.

This is why I was thinking Hakim's deals was going to go through as he would had been playing the 11 role. Let's not start asking for the coach to start giving home grown talent spot yet, maybe if they're winning he can bring them on because this season is going to be a very strong competition in SPL. Aren't you seeing the players other clubs are gathering. Al Nassr needs to put their best players out every game and having mane support Ronaldo with Talisca is going to be be a good collaboration. I don't expect anything less than 40+ goals from the three of them.

For few seasons this isn't going to be an issue for the clubs that are much backed by the oil money. At some point there'll be financial problem, when more and more popular players sign contract with the clubs. Saudi Arabia government is much supportive in the progress of te league and that can keep things in an orderly manner. The prime objective the government have got is to make Saudi Arabia better place than having a overview of this being a oil land and full of deserts.

I'm not sure the Saudi League will be very popular in the future. Just now there have been some really big transfers of superstars from European leagues. But it reminds me more of the time when stars went to America at the end of their careers. It's probably going to be something like that in Saudi.

Saudi is just starting to get involved in European player transfers, so anything could happen.. It's caused by saudi gonna try that even harder than before to recruit more and best players that can push the name of this league. People were skeptical of Ronaldo's move, but the Saudi club's successful recruitment of players with high salaries has proven doubters wrong. I remind you that saudi has unlimited money from oil and various commodities. I think that more intervention gonna come from saudi club. European clubs find it hard to sign players because they have to compete with Saudi clubs and spend more money. Saudi makes everything become even harder these days.

Clubs from Saudi Professional League with their deep pockets for player transfers and salary are changing the global transfer market. More players including star players from Europe who are playing for biggest clubs, want to join Saudi Professional League. It's hard and even impossible for big clubs in Europe to compete with Saudi Arabian clubs in play salary offers. They have to consider cost and benefit as well as their clubs' financial balance sheets while Saudi Arabian clubs don't have such concerns.

Months ago, only Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Professional League but now they already have dozen of star players in the league. More star players will join them and their league potentially will have big jump in quality.

I am concerning about how long will they be able to maintain these transfer and salary strategies? I believe they will be able to do it longer than Chinese clubs and their chance to succeed to enhance their league quality is bigger than Chinese Super League.

Fabinho officially become ittihad's player starting from now. Im very glad to see him decide to join in al ittihad instead of stay in liverpool. He has been picking the right choice by leaving from liverpool to join al ittihad. Fabinho gonna be in the same team with kante and benzema.
Benzema just makes all of ittihad fans are feeling amazed caused by he has been making a beautiful goal for al ittihad. It's good to see that ittihad has a powerful vision to add more and more great player to the club.

Fabinho gonna be playing in the same team with world-class player like kante and benzema. Im so happy to see him there. He can use all of his experience to help the club to win saudi pro league next season.
Ittihad has been winning SPL last season, it's now the time for this club to dominate the league for the upcoming seasons. Kante and benzema will become good team mates for him. I think fabinho gonna adapt easily in ittihad.

Another star player from Europe joined their league which is continuing to grow last few months since World Cup 2022 ending.

Fabinho officially become ittihad's player starting from now. Im very glad to see him decide to join in al ittihad instead of stay in liverpool. He has been picking the right choice by leaving from liverpool to join al ittihad. Fabinho gonna be in the same team with kante and benzema.

Fabinho and Kante will provide very good defensive power for Al Itihad as they are very good defensive midfielders. Fabinho can play as a central defender if the club has emergent need for that position, he can play temporarily at that position like he did many times in Liverpool.

Ittihad has been winning SPL last season, iyt's now the time for this club to dominate the league for the upcoming seasons. Kante and benzema will become good team mates for him. I think fabinho gonna adapt easily in ittihad.

They are the champions of the league and will protect the title in a new season. With their finished transfers so far, Benzema, Kante, Fabinho, they are going ahead of Al Nassr. With Kante and Fabinho, Al Itihad have better balance than Al Nassr that seems to focus too much on attacking with Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane. Anyway, these clubs will still be strongest candidates for the trophy in a coming season in Saudi Arabia.

I'm confident the club will go a long way this season. The Arab club champions cup will be decisive by the club with the highest points on the table, with Al-Nassr having a passive approach to the grand trip this season. Al Nassr defeated Monastir 4-1 in a spectacular victory; it was an easy game with complete control by Al-Nassr in the both halves. Cristiano Ronaldo scores his first goal of the season, assisting Al-Nassr to their first winning of the season. It's a long way down, but the club's actions would be competent and consistent, because they added quite quality player in the squad.

Al nassr is far superior compared with monastir. that's why al nassr can win against monastir easily. The gap is too big between both. Ronaldo was very happy caused by he was contributing a beautiful goal for monatsir. Nassr just need to build a better chemistry between the new players and club.

Brozovic, ronaldo, S fofana and then mane will make nassr gonna be stronger. That's very sad that if nassr was not able winning saudi pro league last season. I expect the different result for upcoming season.

It's caused by ronaldo must compete with its friend benzema to get saudi pro league next season. There will be so many things gonna happen very soon. Al nassr gonna face zamalek which is not a strong opponent.

I think that al nassr will be able to beat zamalek easily. Shabab was able beating zamalek and i think nassr can do that easily without a tough game against zamalek. I hope ronaldo will give us another goal against zamalek very soon.

Finally added another European star player to follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, Fabinho did quite well at Liverpool for lia years. Of course, this will make Al Ittihad even tougher in defense by partnering with Kante. The top four positions in the SPL will be even more competitive.

Before the transfer window closes, it is predicted that there will be more players who will join, it will be interesting to wait for the next transfer surprise.

I seem to have missed the news of this successful transfer and it doesn't feel like the process of recruiting Fabinho from Liverpool has also been fairly quick for Al-Ittihad. Fabinho's experience coupled with Kante's experience in midfield will make it easier for Al-Ittihad to win every game. Moreover, it looks like Benzema will be very spoiled by the sweet passes from these two midfielders.

In addition, it is true that Benzema is still very productive in matters of scoring goals and that is why it is likely that Al-Ittihad will be able to win the Saudi league title again next season. I'm still quite curious whether there will be a new wing as Benzema's duet partner later like what we often see when Benzema often does it with Vini at Real Madrid.

This time was very different that Luis Castro was played Ronaldo since the beginning match and besides that some of new players such as Fofana, Brozović and Alex Telles also into Al Nassr starting lineup and the result is Al Nassr playing more better than their previous match that they can able to control the game but indeed Monastir defense was not easy to penetrate because they were displayed solid defense in the first half

In the second half apparently Monastir lost to focus and this was utilized by Al Nassr to playing more aggressive and only in 16 minutes Al Nassr can able to scores 3 goals which make they win with huge scores 4-1 and Ronaldo was scored 1 goal however this is their first win after passed 5 matches without the winning result but this is not impressive result for me because Monastir is not categorized as strong team

There is an article in footballtransfers.com, regarding 4 major targets for the Saudi clubs ahead of the 2024/25 season. According to this website, the four Saudi clubs (Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al Ahli and Al-Ittihad) who are sponsored by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) want to purchase these players in order to convert SPL to one of the most popular leagues in the world. The players we are talking about are: Luka Modric (Real Madrid), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Neymar Júnior (Paris Saint-Germain) and Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester City). There is no guarantee that their attempt will be successful, but it is going to be fun!

Saudi Arabia pro league management have a good plan for the development of sport in the country, focusing on those four is good, because in every league there are two or three dominate clubs. And people can only watch or invest in such league depends on the number of high quality players that are there.

The players listed, are just not the only target they had in mind, they could be short time plan players.
They had already bid for mbappe and Osimhen and they all rejected the offers. Regardless they will still bring in big players before the end of Transfer season.

They are trying hard to hire superstar players from all over the world to improve and develop football in their country, in this transfer win Saudi Arabia spent a huge amount of money and hire many top players from Europe but the fact that this country is they have to invest more in younger player and try to grow talents in their country from their people instead of spending huge amounts of money for other players.
However, I think It's not just about football, and the other purpose they have by spending money is to invest and have another income source in the future.

But I'm trying to think about the long-term impact that has arisen regarding the SPL league transfer policy. Whether the unfunded clubs other than Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli will get support from their State. Because if not, it will make the SPL uncompetitive. This means that even though the SPL will be attractive with the presence of star players at the four clubs, it means nothing if the other clubs cannot provide significant resistance, because they do not have comparable players.

Overall only four clubs have a lot of money because they are funded by the Public Investment Fund (PIF). I think this is a part that the management of the Saudi Arabian pro league needs to pay attention to for the development of their sport.
